They could be used against Russia’s enemies and, perhaps, its own dissidents by the end of the decade.

oldie i just came across

All i have to say, is this is whats making the news to talk about. So i wonder what the governments, and “leaders” of the world actually are in possession of. I’ve read some crazy shit in my time, but thats neither here nor there.

"Sources in Moscow say Mr Putin has described the guns, which use electromagnetic radiation like that found in microwave ovens, as ‘entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals’"

"Mr Putin added: ‘Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons, but will be more acceptable in terms of political and military ideology.’Plans to introduce the super- weapons were announced quietly last week by Russian defence minister Anatoly Serdyukov, fulfilling a little-noticed election campaign pledge by president-elect Putin."

"‘When it was used for dispersing a crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan. Still, we know very little about this weapon and even special forces guys can hardly cope with it.’"

ya I meant the article itself. I’d love to see an action movie starring a Putin-esque character

President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia piloted a motorized hang glider over an Arctic wilderness area while guiding a flock of migratory birds toward their winter habitat as part of an operation called “The Flight of Hope.”

"A political cartoon started making the rounds early in the morning, showing resentful-looking cranes and Mr. Putin wearing cardboard wings, telling them: “Let’s assign roles right now. I’ll be the alpha crane!” Another, darker one went this way: Mr. Putin looked at the crane and said, “I will save you!” The crane looked at the president and thought, “Maybe I’d better die out.”
